From Rockets, Carbon-cleaning Tech By pressurizing coal plant emissions and running them through high-speed rocket nozzles, engineers think power plants could cheaply scrub carbon dioxide from exhaust. NASA
It’s not exactly rocket science, but the same company that builds the rocket boosters that launch the Space Shuttles into orbit has a novel idea for bringing down the cost of carbon capture. Aerospace and defense company ATK wants to pressurize the exhaust emissions from such high-carbon polluters as …

The technology, referred to as “nonvisual interfaces”, employs sensors to allow the blind driver to maneuver his car based on information transmitted to him about his surroundings.
Many advocates for the blind consider …

And in a press conference today, FIFA president Sepp Blatter indicated that’s exactly what he’s going to do.
“It is obvious that after the experience so far …

It’s a Cool, Cool Summer NREL senior engineer Eric Kozubal examines a prototype air flow channel of the DEVap air conditioner, which he co-invented. DEVap, which stands for desiccant-enhanced evaporative air conditioner, uses membrane technology to combine evaporative cooling with the drying potential of liquid desiccant salt solutions.
The rainbow graph shows shows how hot humid air, in red, changes to cool dry air, in blue, as the air passes through the DEVap core. NREL/Pat Corkery

EMP Cannons This older prototype for an EMP cannon by Canada’s Eureka Aerospace can purportedly stop cars at 200 meters. Amplification on the level of what the French Ministry of Defense is funding could theoretically produce far more powerful EMP weapons. PopSci
Contolled, directional electromagnetic pulse weapons are usually the stuff of sci-fi (see: the Matrix trilogy), as creating an EMP strong enough to, say, disable a vehicle or larger infrastructure requires a significant conventional explosion. B…
